In this week’s Contemplative Living Livestream, We look at how living our joyous life is tethered to our intention; Be happy and free and help everyone else be happy and free. We appreciate our blessings, cultivate our wholesome qualities, and act compassionately with wisdom for ourselves and others. Appreciation arises from noticing what we already have. Focus on the healthy, supportive, and positive aspects of peace.

A real joyful life is one in which we develop our limitless capacity for love, wisdom, and compassion. We are worthy, lovable, and wise—and so is everyone else. Developing our joy deeply connects us with the truth that all living beings want to be happy and free. It’s a pleasure and an honor to use our wisdom and compassion to help others find joy. Begin to trust yourself to weather difficulty and keep a steady mind. If you think you should be living a joyful life, start living a joyful life. Do what is helpful now: plant beneficial seeds of compassion and joy.

Live with Deeper Rooted Intentions

It’s a new year and with that comes the opportunity to start fresh. Take some time to reflect on what you want to manifest in your life this year. What are your deepest desires? What brings you joy?Begin living with deeper rooted intentions by setting aside time each day to connect with your higher self. Listen to what your heart is telling you. Follow your intuition. This is your guidance system leading you to your truth. When you live with intention, you open yourself up to limitless possibilities. You begin to see synchronicities and magic happening all around you.

The Universe is conspiring in your favor, guiding you towards your highest good. Start making decisions from a place of love instead of fear. Ask yourself, “What would love do?” Allow love to be your guidepost in everything you do. Be patient and trust the process. The Universe has a plan for you and everything happens in perfect timing. Relax into the flow of life and know that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. As you begin living with deeper intentions, watch how your life starts to transform before your eyes. It will be a beautiful journey full of growth, expansion, and endless possibilities!
